YEA!!!!!!!!!! We now have a working worm compost bin in our kitchen. I’m so excited by this it’s ridiculous. It’s a small step but a step nontheless.
Our son was so excited when it arrived and completely bummed out when I had to tell him that the worms would be coming later. He helped me put it together and it sat in our dinning area until they arrived. When our daughter came home from college and asked what it was, you could see in her demeanor that she thinks we have gone off the deep end. What will she think when she comes home this Wednesday and finds that we now have a pound of worms as our new family addition.
It’s silly but I feel this is my first test. Will I be able to keep them alive? Will I love it in the beginning but bore of it? Are we really going to change the way we live?
On another note…I have talked to my husband about hunting. I read on a woman’s blog about her first time hunting and I was inspired. If I’m serious about my concerns and the changes I want to make I have to think about much more than I originally thought. Things that just 1 year ago made me uncomfortable. I like that my beliefs, skills, habits and etc are being stretched. I may learn how to shoot after all. Guns scare me. I’ve shot before, guns are powerful and makes me a bit uneasy. I wonder if I’ll ever shoot at anything? I have to at least try and see how it plays out. I’m a meat eater and always will be. My husband has been after me for years to join him in this activity. I’ve always blown it off. “It’s just not ME” Well time for me to shut up and learn and question myself. We’ll see…
